Not every shop can do this. These are the builds we’re proudest of, the records we’ve set, and the in-house processes that set Arthur Payne & Sons apart from anyone else.

Vintage, Perfection.

Three generations of craftsmen under one roof.

Craftsmanship Passed Down. Knowledge Earned Over Decades

Exceptional restoration is built on experience—experience that cannot be replicated by manuals alone.

Over 40 years in the restoration business have given our team the opportunity to work on an extraordinary range of vehicles, developing an understanding of their engineering, materials, construction, and original character.

That knowledge is passed from one generation to the next while continually evolving through modern technology, precision equipment, and relationships with highly specialized artisans whose crafts are as rare as the automobiles we restore.

The result is a restoration philosophy rooted in heritage, precision, and an uncompromising respect for the automobile.

What We Do In-House

Capabilities most shops send out.

01

Engine machining

Blueprinting, boring, and balancing in-house.

02

Vapor blasting & finishing

A clean, factory-correct finish on every part.

03

Fabrication & CNC

Metal shaping and machined parts made to spec.

04

Paint & bodywork

Panel-perfect surfaces and period-correct color.

05

Assembly & sorting

Built up, tuned, and road-proven before delivery.

06

3D scanning & printing

Scan an original, rebuild it in CAD, and print or machine the part — FDM and SLA in-house.

The Payne Standard

A restoration is never just a repair.

We restore the integrity of the whole car — not simply the parts that can be seen. Each commission begins with a full understanding of its history, intention, and the road ahead.

“Every component has a reason to be here. Our work is to honor it.”

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Tim and Wesley at Arthur Payne to do a full restoration.  They took the vehicle down to the nuts and bolts, refinishing each and every component to factory spec.  I was amazed what they were able to do and highly recommend them.
